Speak the words “St. Regis” to any traveler and their mind is suddenly filled with endless luxury and pristine decor and design. Add on a resort in Hawaii and the dream is almost too much to handle.

The St. Regis Princeville Resort in Hawaii has a new addition: the Halele’a (“House of Joy”) Spa. This new bundle of joy opened last fall after the hotel underwent a multi-million dollar restoration, and since then has become one of the top spa destinations and was recently named to Conde Nast’s 2010 Hot List.

To honor its natural surroundings, Halele’a Spa focuses on the Hawaiian concept of the Ahupua’a, a philosophy of living in balance with nature. Halele’a Spa uses products created from local ingredients, many of which are exclusive to The St. Regis Princeville and have been developed by Hawaiian based beauty company Malie. Unique spa experiences include the Kaua’i Taro clay wrap, the Taro butter Pohaku hot stone massage and the Voyage from the Sea Signature Four Hands massage.
